Thanks for d tag . Is shikar Dhawan playing in dis match ?

What to expect: The temperature is expected to remain on the cooler side with cloudy conditions. Barring the opening game, in which PBKS smashed 191, most other teams have registered scores in the range of 150-175.

Punjab Kings

Injured/Unavailable: Shikhar Dhawan and Kagiso Rabada have been out of the team for the last few games. The team is yet to give an update on their availability.

Tactics & Matchups: Kyle Mayers has struggled against left-arm pace this season, striking at 87.88. PBKS has the option of using Sam Curran as well as Arshdeep Singh to keep the left-hander quiet in the powerplay.

Impact Substitute: Prabhsimran Singh or Arshdeep Singh could be used as the substitute based on what happens at the toss

Lucknow Super Giants:

Injured/Unavailable: Mark Wood has been out of the side for the last few games. LSG are yet to provide an update on his injury status.

Tactics & Matchups:Nicholas Pooran has been highly successful against left-arm pacers - smashing at 189.38. The contest in the death overs against between him and the duo of Arshdeep Singh and Sam Curran should be interesting

Impact Substitute: K Gowtham or Amit Mishra could be swapped with Ayush Badoni, depending on whether LSG bat or bowl first.

What they said:

"Without Shikhar, we know we had to take that responsibility. Our group is coming together really well. Shikhar will be fit soon. We won 4 out of the 7 games and it is not a bad place to be. Have got great support from the management and the local guys. The boys are enjoying themselves, and it is still a long way to go and the important thing is enjoy the game and don't put too much pressure on ourselves." - Sam Curran, PBKS' stand-in captain

"I don't know how it happened, but it has happened. I can't put a finger on where it went wrong, but we lost 2 points today, this is cricket these things happen, we'll have to take it on the chin. But still a long way to go." - KL Rahul, LSG skipper, after the loss against Gujarat Titans.

Thanks for the tag 🤗
